[highland fox]

i dont remember him explaining how he chose that horse

Probably had a tip or it was just a personal fancy,he likes his horses.

like i said something we could all do

Could we,I don't think backing a winner is that easy myself

 

[Jeff]

i thought that was good but apart from that nothing spectacular and the ending was a let down just a random guess to pick a winning horse whoopee we can all do that

How he picked the horse was irrelevant, and nothing to do with what the programme was really about. It was all about how easy it is to con people into thinking you have a system.

its like anything in life you believe what you want to believe

But if you think its all a trick and a set-up then why watch it ? You could say the same about a football match,its a set-up etc

i was intrigued to see what he does...a football match can go one of 3 ways what he does is either either a trick or not

But it could be fixed just like what he does could be

i can tell youre a fan of his which is fair enough im just sceptical about what and why he does it

Its not so much being a fan,I just choose to believe him.You would need to watch some of his other stuff because tbh that wasn't like the usual stuff he does.However you might well think anything he does is a 'set-up'..thats up to you.My point is you could watch a lot of things and say they are 'set-up' or 'fixed'

I didn't watch this show, so I'm just sticking my oar in really, but I did see "The Seance" programme that he did. I stumbled upon it by accident and had no idea who he was, or what he was all about, but after seeing that, and hearing Melton tell me about "The Heist" show, I thought he was all about proving how easy it is to brainwash people

He does quite a bit of that but this was different.

I bet the bloke he did it to would say the very same thing

Ive always enjoyed his programmes and viewed him as a bit of a showman. Whether he really does what he says he has doesn't really matter, he carries it off IMO.

I think the 2nd guy in this one maybe a friend of Alex

Oh for goodness sake, when did women stop just believing everything they were told by a man. Simpler time, simpler times.
